Chapter 347: The Frightened Emperor
The armor in front of him made Xu Yan puzzled for a while, and Xu Yan couldn't see through Zuo Xiang's intentions. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What do you mean, old man?"
"Go to the border with the old man. Cheng Yu didn't sleep all night, but he was in good spirits, and the old man said with a concern: "Xu Yan, you can't stay in the capital." ”
"Border Pass, do you want to go to Qiyuan Gorge?"
Facing the dazed Xu Yan, Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "If we don't go to Qiyuan Gorge, the place we want to go to is Lingshui City." ”
Similar to the geographical location of Qiyuan Gorge, Qiyuan Gorge separates the two countries of Qipu, while Lingshui City is the boundary between Dapu and Beizhao.
Xu Yan knew about Lingshui City, but he didn't understand why Zuo Xiang wanted to go to the border in person, and without waiting for him to ask, the old man in front of him sighed deeply.
"The smoke of the western land is rising, and the barbarians broke through the Beizhao Kingdom more than ten years ago, and now, in the end, they have made a move against Dapu. ”
When he said this, the white hair on the top of the old man's head became even more dazzling, and this Dapu's current prime minister was not only disturbed by Dapu's internal worries, but finally ushered in a terrifying foreign enemy.
Knowing that the border pass was in an emergency, Xu Yan became even more inexplicable, Dapu's Lingshui City was attacked, what happened to him, the proton of Daqi, in the past.
"Old man, if I go to Lingshui City, the emperor won't think I'm going to run away, right?" Xu Yan said suspiciously.
"The old man is going to take you out of the capital. Cheng Yu said in a heavy voice: "The King of Zhenshan has sent news that the Imperial City of Qi was slaughtered by the barbarians overnight, if you don't leave, you will inevitably be involved." ”
Hearing that the imperial city of Qi was slaughtered, Xu Yan was shocked, the royal family of Qi was gone, wouldn't the princess of Dapu also die, and as soon as Dapu's proton died, there was really no need for him, the proton of Qi, to stay.
Although the news was shocking, Xu Yan was not a real Qi person, so he couldn't help but say: "It's okay to make my true identity public, I'm originally a Dapu person." ”
Cheng Yu shook his head slightly, and said: "King Zhenshan did not come back, but stayed in Qi to find the whereabouts of the princess, the imperial city of Qi was slaughtered, and the royal family of Qi may not all be killed, if the royal family of Qi escaped from the imperial city and held the princess hostage, the existence of your proton may become a turning point, so your identity cannot be made public in the near future." ”
Cheng Yu had his own concerns, because the King of Zhenshan did not return, but only sent back a news that the imperial city of Qi was slaughtered by barbarians.
Relying on just one piece of news, Cheng Yu couldn't determine the current situation of the royal family of Qi State, and before the life and death of the princess were determined, for the sake of safety, Cheng Yu was not ready to immediately disclose Xu Yan's identity, but if Xu Yan's identity was still the Marquis of Tianmen of Qi State, what was waiting for him would be from the emperor's imprisonment, so Cheng Yu wanted to take Xu Yan away.
"Xu Yan, when the battle of Lingshui City is over, the old man will personally explain your origin to His Majesty, and even if he falls into the crime of bullying the king, the old man will not frown, but during this time, you have to leave the capital with me, and you will be wronged for a while. ”
Cheng Yu's hardship, Xu Yan has already understood, the old man in front of him is not easy, not only has to take care of the life and death of the princess, but also thinks about him, a junior.
"Now that the old man is in command of the expedition, Xu Yan will be a pawn. ”
Xu Yan smiled, picked up the armor in front of him, the left minister of the family can be said to do his best for his safety, this kindness, Xu Yan will definitely return it, even if he does not go into battle to kill the enemy, it is good to protect this old man all the way.
"You've always been a sensible child. Cheng Yu smiled and said, "After this incident, you have recovered your true identity, and you can rightfully worship the Qian Sect, although Hongchen is good, it is not worth a thousand years of immortality." ”
The yearning for cultivators is the dream of all mortals, even Zuo Xiang is not exempt from vulgarity, maybe he will not care about the ability to fly to the sky, but the word immortality will eventually make all living beings covetous.
The left minister is in command, indicating that the border war has reached the point of endangering Dapu Sheji, and the beacon smoke that has never been ignited in a hundred years is like a sharp thorn, piercing the heart of the emperor of Dapu, the heart of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and the heart of every person who saw the beacon smoke.
Due to the news that the imperial city of Qi was slaughtered overnight, this time the troops were sent to the expedition, Zuo Xiang did not use Zhuyunwei, but led the masters of the criminal department, and ordered the military department to mobilize the garrisons inside and outside the imperial city, overnight, 200,000 troops were ready to go, rushing to Lingshui City on the way, there will be garrisons from all over the country to be requisitioned, and the strength of this aid to Lingshui City is expected to be around 500,000.
Not only did the army pull out, but Qian Zong and Taiqingjiao, who were upright people, all received the holy decree and ordered them to send masters to Lingshui City with the army to participate in the war.
The leader of the Taiqing Sect is the national teacher, and it is natural for Dapu to contribute, and the Qian Sect is a subordinate sect of the Qian Sect, and the Dapu royal family is deeply related to the Qian Sect, so the holy decree, the four major families had to temporarily put aside the discord between them, and sent masters to accompany the army to the battle.
Beizhao has been in war for many years, the situation has never been clear, since learning that the barbarians attacked Beizhao, Dapu chose to close Lingshui City, these years almost every year to Lingshui City to increase troops, the last time to Lingshui City Shenwu artillery is also specially to prevent the barbarians from attacking the city.
Once Lingshui City is broken, the iron hooves of the barbarians can almost kill all the way to the capital, so this time the expedition, Cheng Yu is determined to die on the battlefield, if the barbarians can't be defeated, then Dapu's society will ignite the flames of war everywhere.
On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the west city gate was opened, and the old man who had brought the handsome seal from the palace rode a huge frame and went westward.
Taking Xu Yan away without permission, Cheng Yu was also helpless, and soon after, the eunuch in the palace led the forbidden army to arrive at Pang Mansion again, and the Marquis of Tianmen, who was supposed to receive the order, had already left the imperial city, and even the little black pig was gone.
A Tianmen Marquis is not a big deal for the current emperor of Dapu, but what makes Chu Xuan tremble is the news that the imperial city of Qi was slaughtered overnight.
In the depths of the palace, in a heavily guarded side hall, Chu Xuan knelt in front of a huge bronze mirror and wept bitterly, there was only the emperor in the empty hall, but two voices appeared.
"Grandpa Huang, please save me, all the royal families of Qi are dead, if the barbarians attack the capital, the lives of their grandchildren will also be guaranteed!"
The majestic emperor on weekdays, the son of heaven in the hearts of the people, is like a frightened child at this time, if this vision is seen by others, I am afraid that the majesty and mystery of the imperial power will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
With Chu Xuan's crying, a layer of pale cyan light curtain appeared on the bronze mirror in front of him, like a layer of clear water circulating, and an old figure could be faintly seen sitting in it on the water surface, the old man was dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a golden crown, and his face was majestic, more like an emperor than Chu Xuan.
The person in the mirror does not live in the mirror, this royal sound transmission treasure can communicate thousands of miles away, as the old man in the realm opened his eyes, the deep voice came like a bell.
"Are you the emperor or the prisoner of the ranks? I was so frightened that I cried before I even saw the shadow of the enemy, the descendants of my Chu family are really not as good as the generation......" (To be continued.) )
